Super Rugby 2020

The two games every weekend are likely to be played on Saturday night and late Sunday afternoon. With no crowds allowed, kick-off times will be decided by the broadcaster.
Sunday afternoon is attractive to broadcaster Sky as most people are at home and there are few distractions. Games in Australia have kicked off late on Sunday before and rated well.https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=12330144

JUNE??!! Fucking June??!!! That's a month away. Jesus fuck!
Just get out there and play with a half-assed preseason like every other player on the planet. Dance monkey!! i want entertainment this saturday!

I will be interested to see what plans are in place for the charter flights as the away team will be disadvantaged if they go directly from the airport to the stadium as stated. There will be more flexibility with arrival times so you would hope they arrive at a similar time relative to kick-off for the preparation.

Quite interesting that the stadiums in Auckland and Christchurch haven't been named. Does that mean they're considering other stadiums than Eden Park and Orangetheory Stadium?
Costs still being worked out according to the news.
Albany might be cheaper to open than Eden Park.

Albany makes sense. It's always a nice surface. I don't know where else you would play in Christchurch though.

Rugby park is the only other serious option. If there are no crowds, it's probably cheaper.

She is so precious its crazy, and that was a terrible outburst from her.
Back on stadia, I don't see they can't they have fans back in. Limited capacity to half, enforce distancing at turnstiles , food queues etc.
5,000 people at a stadium that used to hold 12k is no more chance of being a cluster than 100ppl inside a restaurant
Just open the stadium back up. Have a few changes like
-Infrared temperature reading for anyone entering the stadium
-Maybe no food sales. Let people bring their own food
-Advice the vulnerable to stay at home. And anyone not feeling good
-Full refund for people who wake up not feeling good
-Advice wearing a mask but don't make it compulsoryThis flu or whatever it is doesn't seem too bad. No worse than others where the economy and life wasn't closed down
Life is about risks. Protect the vulnerable and sick but let the rest get on with life
Where have you been for the last 4 months?

@Stargazer @Bovidae if crowds are limited or non-existent why bother with a stadium of any size at all?
You just need to be able to position the cameras and control access.
Somewhere like Western Springs or Waitakere would suffice wouldn't it?
